Praise for Lucid's graphics

One of the most impressive things about my AGT is the quality of the graphic design of the various screens in the car. The graphics are simply outstanding. There are so many good things about what they have done with the graphics and screens in the car--very rich, elegant and intuitive. The fonts, letter spacing, understated use of colors and rendering of photo-based graphics are just really, really excellent. This is something a lot of people may take for granted, but as a professional in this field, I can tell you that the quality of their screens is absolutely top notch. Credit where credit is due.

For everyone one of these posts, there are 10 more online stating how amateur the Lucid graphics/UX is and how the anti-aliasing on the energy gauage must have been programmed by a 10 year old.

Well this is just my opinion, but I have won numerous national awards for graphic design (The One Show, Communication Arts, etc), so I trust my judgement over theirs. But they are entitled to their ill informed opinions

I fully agree... I think the software issues make people overlook the well designed UI

Reminds me of this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35079

And yes, it often pains me when people dismiss the UX and UI of the Air and Gravity, and just want to use CarPlay/AA. Lucid has done suuuuuuch a good job with it. They’re typography and design nerds and it shows. It’s far from perfect, but it’s intentional, and that matters to me.

I feel similarly to you, btw, whenever folks show up and suggest that every software bug or feature is a “quick simple fix,” lol. Or that they just need to hire 10x more people and “fix all the bugs” as if there is ever going to be a perfect state. Tell me you have never written software at any kind of scale without telling me you have never written software at any kind of scale. lol

Totally agree with this. Their graphics stand out to me as elegant, particularly when compared to more traditional luxury vehicle manufacturers like Mercedes, BMW and Cadillac. Obviously just my opinion, but this stood out to me when I first test drove the car and I think it perfectly matches their interior design language.
